The Four Cardinal Points Of The Spiritual Blessings (Part 2)

Let’s continue to unfold the spiritual positions of the man that has received the message or gospel by faith. Receiving the message by faith and believing in it makes someone to be declared righteous before God. That is the righteous nature of God is give unto him or her, he or she stands before God guiltless. In this case what happens next is that he or she is accepted in the beloved according to this verse, “To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Eph 1:6). It is interesting to know that the fall of man separated man from God and as a result of that man had no place in God, there was a total spiritual incommunicado between God and man. Though there was this spiritual separation between man and God, the nature of God which is Grace could not let man go, grace continue to search ways man could be united with his maker. The grace of God that came to man was the gospel, that gospel was preached to Abraham and as many that lived in the beginning was the gospel of grace of God (Titus 2:11)

The testimony of the gospel was that they believed in God by faith in the gospel which unveils what the grace of God has offered to them. As they believed, the resounding testimony is that they work and walk with God. The walk or work with God here means that literally they associated with God in all their dealings and there was a cooperation between them and God. This indicates that they heard from God and have interactions with Him, which suggests that they were in close rapport with God. This kind of association cannot be established on the physical realm, it takes place on the spiritual realm and as a matter of fact it means that they had spiritual relationship with God. Therefore, one accepting the gospel just as Abraham did mean that he has paved way for his or her spiritual connection with God to be established, and by so doing, there is an acceptance of him or her in the bosom of God.

So, the declaration of righteousness upon an individual helps to ingratiate him or her into a spiritual position which man has lost as a result of the fall. Righteousness therefore, empowers one to be accepted in God, it means that if God has accepted you, no matter the rejection you might face out there in the world, your case is different. The only place one can be rejected and it tells on him or her so much is in the place of God, if you don’t have a place or position in God, forget it you should be sorry for yourself. Being accepted in the beloved means one is very pleasing to God, no matter what! It doesn’t matters what people’s judgment is or what their perspective about you suggests, the judgment of God stands.

This is what the blessing of God is, that one has been accepted in God as a result of the declaration of righteousness on him or her. This typifies freedom, I mean one is free from any accusing finger, be it from the devil or his human agents. It means as you stand in front of God you do that without any sense of guilt and can boldly say what you want to say to God and to man with easy (Heb 13:6). You should not having any doubt that you statement or voice will not be heard because of one thing or the other, because you know that you have been accepted and this acceptance is not based on what you have done rightly or how assiduously you have worked hard to be right before God.

This is not a fruit of your work or labour in observing one rule or other, just that you believed the gospel and this gift was given to you. Wonderful! You are accepted no one can reject you, whether they like it or not (Jn 8:4 – 12), He that was supposed to reject you did not do so, who then can do it? Therefore, you walk out with all sense of boldness not minding what the environments around you say, you can boldly talk to any situation or condition and they will immediately listen to you. You can command any evil or demon out and they will listen and obey you without tug of war in between. Just because you have been accepted in the beloved!

These are the things the spiritual blessings entail in a life of anyone that has accepted and believed the gospel. His spiritual position is reestablished and he or she has the right to exercise his or her position in God and begin to undo anything that he or she sees as very odd in his or her life.

It is common thing in our society to find people in every stratum keenly asking this question of God’s whereabouts. The statement has been, “if there is God, where is He?” To them, inasmuch as God is not visible to unclad eyes, there is no point saying that He exists. This factor of invisibility has become a hard nut for many to crack. For this reason many who would have liked to believe in God decided to think otherwise. The attention has been placed on a kind of God that is visible, and can be located and reached to ask some questions. People have always wanted a kind of God that they can pay visit anytime they desire and probably have some cups of tea with, thereafter lay their needs and frustration on Him. And perhaps, they have wanted a kind of God that they will reach out to and ask Him to teach them how He made this world, so that they will start creating their own world. It is unbelievable that someone made this magnificent world and He’s nowhere to be found, at least He shou…

Case Study Text:
“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.”
1 Cor 15:45 – 47 (KJV)
Talking about the curse, it is important to ascertain that in real terms, God didn’t curse the man. Remember, the consequence will only manifest if the action is taken inasmuch as the action is not taken, there is no way the consequence will manifest. Therefore, it is an authentic fact that the man brought the curse upon himself and not that God cursed him. What God did was to help him understand what has happened to him as a result of his action. For instance, if there is a ravaging disease surging up in the society and some medical team starts to create awareness and carrying out campaign on the disease and lett…

Let us take a little time to consider the impact of the
church to the growth of the economy and its role in the reduction of
unemployment in the Nigeriansociety. Most people may never have anything good to write about the
modern Nigerian church because of the way it has presented itself overtime, but
still we have to consider some of its advantageous input to the growth of the
economy.

Continued from the last episode:
This implies that if someone dies, no matter the circumstances that surround his or her death, God has no hands in it. The only person God has killed is Himself in Christ, and in this He died a sacrificial death to save man from death. And of course this sacrificial death is the source of eternal life He has offered to man. In the light of this understanding, it is proper to say that if while people are carrying out some religious activities and eventually they die or fail, it’s not God that killed them and God didn’t fail them. One thing that should be made clear is that God is not religious and He didn’t create any religion and is not involved in any religion! I said all of that to say this, that Christianity is not a religion and should no longer be seen as one. The truth is that over the ages and civilizations, many out of ignorance and selfishness have infused religion into Christianity. Nevertheless, that they did it and it is relatively unoppos…

Most of us have heard about the prophecy that went viral by
a Pastor revealing dates that certain bad incidents will happen within and
outside Lagos, and some transportation companies that will be involved.Now do you think it was revealed so people
can avoid going out or traveling on these days or to pray against it and stop
it.. As so many of us have decided to totally avoid the road, it has caused an
arousal of fear and unrest in the city of Lagos...

Spiritual entities dissipate information or messages that reveal their core values to the public and they expect the public to know them by these messages they preach. So their messages invariably become their identity because they point to what they are and represents. Also, it is important to point out that it is their message that brings people and as many that they bring among them are established by the same message. However, it is important to note that Christianity as a spiritual entity has its own message and this message is called the message of salvation. This implies that the right Christian message should be that message that can save people from condemnation and it is rooted in the teaching of the early Apostles. To ascertain the right message therefore it is worthy to align any message preached by anyone with what was preached by the early Apostles and if such message doesn’t align properly it should be discarded.

Furthermore, consider what Apostle Paul says in this verse “Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” (Col 1:25-27). Also “That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel” (Eph 3:6).

It is easy for one to say there is nothing as a Christian relationship and conclude that relationship is relationship and cannot be sub-divided into any category. Here we have two main words to cogitate about and as a matter of fact give a definition to them. Giving a definition to them will further aid us in the understanding of the subject matter.
